Day 271: Moneses uniflora (commonly called "Wood Nymph" or "Single Delight") is described as comparatively rare in Mount Rainier National Park, information which came as rather a surprise to me because I have encountered it in a number of locations over my many years of hiking. Ignorant of its status, I didn't take GPS readings or make any particular notes-to-self, so now it's going to fall to Team Biota to reinvent the wheel, i.e., re-find it in undocumented locations. I don't know whether to be embarrassed or amused at the oversight, but never again will I walk past it with the same casual disregard, "Oh, there's that one again."
